Brooks next opponent ....

[Cressa121]

My guess is Senchenko, he'll have name value because he stopped Hatton. They won't put him in with anyone too dangerous with him so close to a title shot.

[Fenster]

The way they're now hyping it up someone like Senchenko/Diaz/Bailey will be a massive let down. They've also said the word "dangerous" which surely rules out Paulie.

True, but Hearn wants Brook-Khan, I think he'll be looking at that as a possibility for next summer if Khan beats Alexander so he won't want to risk that fight by putting Brook in with somebody too dangerous that could upset him. Senchenko can be billed as the former World Champion who ended Ricky Hatton's career, it'd be a pretty easy sell. If not him then Peterson might be a possibility, the drugs issue and getting blasted out by Matthyse might make it more affordable to bring him over. Plus there's the Khan link with that one. I'd be amazed if it's Paulie.

I agree with everything you said, just saying they're hyping it up so much now, that if it's one of those solid opponents instead of a real threat it's gonna be seen as shit.

I heard a few whispers its gunna be Julio Diaz. Like @Fenster said, with the way they hyped it up that would be a huge let down.

I think we all want Carson Jones III or Matthew Hatton II though.

[Master]

I think fighting Diaz would make the most sense to compare against Khan. However I think Brook will stop Diaz in impressive fashion and scare the living daylights out of Khan and Amir will never agree to fight him.

Maybe Maidana?

I tend to expect a let down

[FinitoElDinamita]

Maybe Maidana?

no

Why not?

He's tied up with Broner. Fight is not official but if Broner doesn't face Maidana next, he has to give up his title..

Maidana and co are doing everything they can to secure a matchup with Broner next..

margarito?

[FinitoElDinamita]

Margarito would kill Brook..

Broner will not be fighting Maidana and its just forum talk. Broner most likely goes to 140. Besides Broner would have an optional at 147 first and chances are it would not be Maidana. If he wants to get his mandatory out of the way first then it would be Chaves
